Teams

There are 2 available Teams in BlockBall who play against each other. They are named blue and red per default and will also be associated like that in the Chat UI and in this guide.

Of course it is possible to recolor them to something like yellow or pink, but all placeholders and the chat navigation will always stay like they are.
